Information about Easy Paint Tool SAI
15 years ago
First things first, I enjoy using this more than OC4.6plus, due to not having to switch and reset brush sizes everytime you change tools. You do need Adobe Photoshop to help add text or fix things, easy with PSD. save.
Or cross platform with Tone use in O.c4.plus and up and onto adobe or however you like.
Few things people do not know of SAI
They find it hard and cumbersome at first. Why? Well the default settings are a terrible default for many new users. The reason is usually they leave it at this default for you to change it.
When you choose pencil, brush, watercolor. Quickly look to the Advanced Tab settings in below the Tools Window>Brush size Adjusters>Advanced settings
<-Soft-Hard->
Pencil should be set below 100 usually at 62 ish. Helps a lot in troubles trust me. When sketching click on pressure Box to activate sensitivty. And uncheck to deactivate for Easy inking.
For best results in pencil inking, set inking tip size Min. at zero and max at 5-6 size.
For Brush 100 in <soft-Hard> or however you like. Watercolor is the same. Each blends differently in settings so
experiement. :3
Density setting: effects how much color is used, its a good way to do cg paint which I'm experimenting with. You can leave as is with no change. Though some like the density being lower for paint feel.
All these settings can be easily costumized.
Brush Speed: Is the brush reaction to fast then what you're use too? Well its got that covered. Look up at the top right corner.
There's a setting tab called the stabilizer. It lets you set the speed of the response to something you're use too.
Any questions I'll be glad to help =3

FA+

I like OC as well, its colouring feels more natural.
For me my stabilzer is set to the same settings my friend has. Stabilizer at 3 which is good speed. But for others they might adjust to higher number for slower speed their use too and slowly up it.
It all depends on user, So its best to play around with the speed to see which is comfortable.
As in some find it easier to ink faster at 1-3 but sometimes get shaky lines its really sensitive to movement, while the higher 5+ slower and easy usually makes it smoother.
In Advanced Settings leave :"Quality" at 1(fastest)
For coloring I found the waterV tool mixed quite well in colors, =0
<soft-Hard> In brushes for painting change its pressure reaction, but density settings it does a lot. experiment for neat effects x3
Leavr it at default. I made the same mistake xD
